Also on the list: former Shreveporter Lila Nelson and her husband, Tyler Daniel, political director for the Scalise Leadership Fund, and Ochsner Health System CEO Warner Thomas.

"Congressman Scalise is enthusiastic about being a part of the event which raises awareness on the importance of first responders and Level One Trauma Centers," said LSU Health Shreveport official Lisa S. Babin.

"Both played a key role in his survival of a gunshot wound received while practicing for a congressional baseball game on June 14, 2017," explained Babin.

Healers tells the story of two, young adult members of the Shreveport community and those who helped save their lives. One patient was shot at close range and another received a life altering diagnosis and their "miraculous journeys to health will be revealed on video at the event," said Babin.

Guests will hear the stories of the patients who faced their greatest challenge in life and celebrate the healers who brought hope and healing to the patients and their families, said the invitation.

"All funds raised from 'An Evening for Healers' will support LSU Health Shreveport's most critical needs, making it possible to continue the mission of educating future physicians, allied health professionals and scientists," said Babin.

She also pointed out this is an evening when the medical community comes together as multiple hospitals sponsor the event.
